What people are saying about Clifden

Thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Weather was exceptional and the historic commentary was very informative. Very comfortable crossing with all amenities and refreshments on board. Highly recommend and great value for money.

We weren't driving so it cost us a lot to get there and back from Westport. Weather was better than expected. It was a lovely relaxing trip. Staff very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately no dolphins

Great little trip, plenty of food and drink choices on board. We were lucky enough to see a pod of dolphins which ended up racing beside our boat. 10/10

Lovely and informative journey up Killary Fjord. Majestic scenery and an Irish coffee to help us on our way.

Super experience. Everyone so friendly. Incredible scenery. Highly recommended
